"The friend did not know the purpose of the kitchen device" - And you?
If you guessed right away, write in the comments. Today people are saving time, preferring to buy semi-finished products, because of the speed of preparation. Often their quality is questionable, competition affects, but even a high price is not a guarantee. Recently I bought homemade dumplings with pork, people make them themselves, delicious, not like factory ones, but the price is 360 rubles. per kilogram.
Dumplings
This was the last straw for the wife, go speaks for the molding for the dumplings. I didn’t find it right away on the market, by the way. I met a friend, and he asks what he bought for the stand, was sincerely surprised that he did not know what this device was for, because it was a fairly common thing in Soviet times.
How is it convenient?
There is no need to sculpt dumplings by hand, just roll out the pancake from the dough, put it on the molding, lay the meat, cover it with the same pancake and roll it with a rolling pin.
The main thing is to roll out the dough thin enough, and not to overdo it, so that when laying the minced meat it does not break. I wanted to help my wife, but she didn’t allow me to roll it, she said that I wouldn’t guess the thickness.
It remains to shake out and lay out the finished product. I think if you buy two dumplings (the price of one is 90 rubles), then you can speed up the process, distributing who will do what.
My wife has relatives in the Urals, where, according to her stories, they used to freeze a bunch of dumplings with all kinds of filling in the entryway, they did everything by hand. Interestingly, they continued the tradition or also switched to the store?
